Workshop: Languages of the Body and Screening of An orphanage in China, Castañón (2014, 30 min, English subtitles)
A film by Karen Michelsen Castañón on the daily presence of colonialism
in our bodies, education, and the ways histories are written.

Workshop with Mauricio Pereyra and Karen Michelsen Castañón:
The film An orphanage in China unveils the layers of a colonial image through diverse perspectives. In the workshop, we will use video and theatre techniques for group warm-ups in order to question body images, and we will get to know the languages of our own body. Please bring comfortable clothing.

Karen Michelsen Castañón
